Love That Boy

I'm still wondering where this little movie came from. A fabulous little picture about a woman obsessed and how she falls in love (something which turns her life upside down). The problem, the boy is 14, she's 21. As messed up as this sounds, this romance didn't look all that strange on screen. Nadia Litz plays the great role of Phoebe, a college student who has great plans for herself and a list of things to do before graduation. Adrien Dixon is great as the 14 year old love interest Frazer, but I think that the rally big steal of this picture is P.J. Crosby playing Bugs, Frazer's little sister. Great characters, filming and acting make this a thoroughly enjoyable picture well worth watching. 9/10

+ The story itself gives an interesting view of a too ambitious girl who is not on this planet but lives in her artificial challenge-controlled life - created by herself in form of a list, containing all the 'important' things what in life a person should reach. The age-problem is also interesting, comes from real life (the boy is much too young for her...what should be done, it is reckoned as a shame, will she undertake...?)

• The above mentioned list was very exaggerated. The implementation of the main role character was also very exaggerated, anti-antipathetic. In total the antipathetic feeling and the fast-changing exaggerated scenes overwhelmed the story.

This film was absolutely adorable. The gist of the story is that Phoebe is a 21-year old girl about to graduate from college. She has a long list of things she wants to accomplish before she graduates in hopes of receiving a special award. She drags her roommate along with her for all the of things she does, and after a while, her roommates gets so annoyed that she leaves. When her roommate leaves, she mentions that Phoebe has never had a boyfriend. So, she adds this to her list of things she needs to accomplish, and she goes about it in a very amusing way. At first, Phoebe is not very likeable, as she is so meticulous about everything, but she turns out to be a very charming and likeable character. The acting, particularly by Nadia Litz (Phoebe)and Adrien Dixon (Frazer) was fantastic, and the direction was very good. Overall, the film was well-paced and interesting. It is very enjoyable, and is the type of film that anyone could watch. It was funny and lighthearted while maintaining a seriousness to it. If you are lucky enough to get the chance to see it, I would recommend you do so, as it is absolutely charming. 9/10

Set in suburban Halifax, a college student meets the neighbour across the street. LOVE THAT BOY is a heart-warming look at a coming-of-age story for two young people. Frazer is the typical earnest, adorable 14 year old boy that we all fall in love with. There's the other girl on the street who constantly picks on Frazer because she "likes" him. Phoebe is the over-achieving college student who falls for the lawnboy. Phoebe is a "late bloomer" in relationships and the Frazer is attracted to the Phoebe who is mature, fun and sincere. The story is about two people who "get each other" however the age difference comes between them. See this well-written and acted film. 8/10

This is a lovely film about an overachieving girl named Phoebe who is weeks away from graduating from university. She has done almost everything from "foraging for wild mushrooms" to getting a "kayak certification", but has never had a boyfriend.

This is not by any means your average cheesy romantic comedy. It is modest in visual style, yet perfectly appropriate. Attention has been paid to Phoebe's many retro outfits, to a great script, and to perfect direction to the actors whose manner perfectly matches the tone of the film.

This film will leave you enchanted, content, and smiling. Andrea Dorfman has already created a signature style between this and her last film "Parsley Days".
